I don't get why people are so outraged and saying that she has an advantage, obviously they're not letting women out there so it's not as if she's holding other women back. She worked as hard as all of the men around her to get where she is so she deserves to be there no matter what her gender is.

Yes, it has changed to allow this BUT females have to be trained up more and pass physicals, something that is not going to happen for a year or so.

Therefor, with this 'Chloe' apparently being the first woman, when the real first woman makes it through the extensive training, its not a 'first' for actual women as its been claimed already by someone who 'was' a bloke until a few months ago.

The issue is they are allowing women out there (which should always have been allowed) but the whole thing has been turned into a bit of a joke by a guy who completed his training and such as a guy, who has physical advantages that women have to overcome to get this title..being lauded the first female. Its just wrong...

And yes, I agree she has worked as hard as the men around her. That does not make her the first female soldier though, far from it.
